Definitions

  • oleaginous base re-circulateable, well drilling and servicing fluids containing colloidal gas aphrons (microbubbles).
  • Such fluids comprise an oleaginous continuous phase, one or more viscosifiers that impart an elevated low shear rate viscosity to the fluid of at least 10,000 centipoise, one or more aphron-generating surfactants, and aphrons.
  • gas bubbles and microbubbles can be generated in oleaginous liquids by incorporating into the oleaginous liquid a silicone oil and encapsulating a gas therein.
  • compositions can comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of the stated materials.
  • the method can comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of the stated steps with the stated materials.
  • the present invention is directed to a method of incorporating microbubbles in oleaginous liquids preferably for use as oil base well drilling and servicing fluids (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "OB WD AS" fluids).
  • OB WD AS oil base well drilling and servicing fluids
  • the method comprises adding a silicone oil to the oleaginous liquid and thereafter subjecting the silicone oil-containing oleaginous liquid to mechanical forces in the presence of a gaseous phase.
  • the base oleaginous liquid may be any organic, water insoluble liquid which can be viscosified to the desired extent.
  • Exemplary oleaginous liquids known in the art include petroleum oils or fractions thereof, vegetable oils, and various synthetic organic liquids such as olefins (alpha and internal unsaturation), oligomers of unsaturated hydrocarbons, carboxylic acid esters, phosphoric acid esters, ethers, polyalkyleneglycols, diglymes, acetals, and the like.
  • Microbubbles are generated in the oleaginous liquid by incorporating a silicone oil in the oleaginous liquid and thereafter subjecting the silicone-containing oleaginous liquid to mechanical forces in the presence of a gaseous phase to generate the microbubbles.
  • microbubbles can be generated by means known in the art.
  • methods are disclosed in Michelsen et al. U.S. Patent No. 5,314,644, incorporated herein by reference, Yoon et al. U.S. Patent No. 5,397,001, incorporated herein by reference, Kolaini U.S. Patent No. 5,783,118, incorporated hereby by reference, Wheatley et al. U.S. Patent No. 5,352,436, incorporated herein by reference, and U. S. Patents No. 4,162,970; 4,112,025; 4,717,515; 4,304,740; and 3,671 ,022, each incorporated herein by reference.
  • microbubbles will also be produced by the pressure drop and cavitation as the fluid is pumped through the drill bit.
  • the gas used to create the microbubbles may be any gas which is not appreciably soluble in the oleaginous liquid.
  • the gas may be air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and the like, including air encapsulated in the fluid during mixing.
  • the silicone oils useful in the invention are well known in the art and available commercially from such companies as GE Silicones, HULS AMERICA, INC., DOW CORNING, and CK WITCO.
  • the silicone oils are basically siloxane polymers which have a backbone of Si-O linkages.
  • Dimethyl silicone fluids i.e., polydimethylsiloxanes, are available in various viscosity grades from about 0.5 centistokes at 25°C to about 2,500,000 centistokes having average molecular weights from about 100 to about 500,00, preferably from about 5 centistokes to about 100,000 centistokes.
  • polydialkylsiloxanes are also available.
  • polydiphenylsiloxanes are also available.
  • poly(dimethyl/diphenyl)siloxanecopolymers are also available.
  • polymethyl-alkylsiloxanes such as polymethyloctylsiloxane and polymethyloctadecylsiloxane.
  • the concentration of silicone oil required is generally from about 0.5 ppb (0.06 g/cm 3 ) to about 20 ppb (2.4 g/cm 3 ), preferably from about 1 ppb (0.12 g/cm 3 ) to about 10 ppg (1.2 g/cm 3 ).
  • An indication of the volume of microbubbles generated can be obtained by determining the density reduction which occurs upon generating the microbubbles in the fluid. Foaming of the fluid, which is undesirable, may occur if the concentration of silicone oil is excessive. We have determined that the concentration of silicone oil can be increased, without any adverse effect on the fluid, as the LSRV increases.
  • the concentration of silicone oil which can be determined by routine testing, is the amount required to generate sufficient microbubbles to give the density reduction desired but which is, preferably, insufficient to create a long-lasting foam on the surface of the fluid.
  • the concentration of aphrons in the fluid is preferably from about 5% by volume to about 25%, most preferably from about 5% to about 20% by volume.
  • the density of the fluids can be adjusted, as required, by the addition of weight materials or the addition of soluble salts to the fluids as is well known in the art.
  • the weight material is added to the fluid before generation or incorporation of microbubbles therein, thus adjusting the final density of the microbubble-containing fluid to the desired density by the concentration of microbubbles therein.
  • the concentration of microbubbles in the fluid should be less than about 25% by volume at atmospheric pressure.
  • the volume of the microbubbles is believed to decrease as the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid increases. Indeed the microbubbles may compress in size to almost no volume depending on the depth of the borehole.
  • the measured density under pressure should be very close to the density of the fluid without any microbubbles.
  • the microbubles do not disappear, however. They are still present, and additional microbubbles will be generated at the face of the bit due to the pressure drop and cavitation.
  • the microbubbles are extremely small, have very high surface area, and are highly energized. As soon as the fluid exits the bit and starts back up the annulus, some pressure drop begins to occur and the microbubbles will begin to expand. As the fluid moves up the borehole and it encounters a loss to the formation, the microbubbles are filtered into the pore throats, microfractures, or other types of loss zone. These loss zones are areas where pressure drops occur.
  • microbubbles in these loss zones then expand and aggregate and hence seal the loss zones.
  • the "% microbubbles by volume" in these micro environments is highly variable and will depend on the specific pressure and pressure drop within the loss zones. Thus it is believed that the micro environment density is completely different than the density of the fluid in the borehole.
  • the density reduction at atmospheric pressure which occurs on entraining up to about 25% by volume of a gas in the fluids of the invention is sufficient to provide the quantity of microbubbles needed in the borehole while allowing the fluid to be recirculatable without causing pump problems.
  • the fluid may contain other functional materials known in the art such as emulsifiers, wetting agents, and the like. Without being limited hereby, it is believed that the microbubbles present in the fluid effectively seal the formation during drilling or well servicing operations thus preventing the excessive loss of fluid to the formations being drilled or serviced.
  • the fluids of this invention can be used in conventional drilling and well servicing operations as conducted in the art.
  • the fluid is circulated from the surface down the drill pipe, coiled tubing, or the like through the bit and up the annulus between the drill pipe and the sides of the borehole back to the surface.
  • the microbubbles in the fluid seal the borehole surface preventing the loss of excessive amounts of fluid to the formations being drilled.
  • the microbubble-containing fluid of the present invention be utilized in a drilling process wherein the drill bit is a cavitating liquid jet assisted drill bit.
  • Exemplary cavitating liquid jet assisted drill bits are set forth in Johnson, Jr. et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,262,757, incorporated herein by reference, and Johnson, Jr. et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,391,339, incorporated herein by reference.
  • the cavitating jet nozzle in the cavitating liquid jet assisted drill bit includes a pin received at a central position which lowers the pressure of the pressurized drilling fluid such that cavitation bubbles form in the fluid. See for example Henshaw U.S. Patent No. 5,086,974, incorporated herein by reference, and Henshaw U.S. Patent No. 5,217,163, incorporated herein by reference.

  • the fluids can be used as spotting fluids to release pipes and tools stuck in the filter cake on the sides of a borehole by differential sticking.

  • the viscosity of the oleaginous liquid can be increased with various viscosifiers/gellants such as organophilic clays, colloidal fumed silicas, resins, polymers, dimer acids, fatty amine salts of anionic polysaccharides, fatty acid salts of cationic polysaccharides, oil- dispersible/soluble latex-type products, and mixtures thereof as is known in the art.
